HRMA Calibration: On-Axis Effective Area


Status:

The on-orbit HRMA on-axis effective area predictions are generated from raytracing models and scaled by the HRMA calibration data taken at the XRCF. This is the current best prediction for the HRMA EA, which has already been included in the Chandra Proposers' Observatory Guide.
